rosenburg notes at the "new york times" tonight, a lot of the other stuff in the dossier certainly the headline stuff in the dossier did ultimately pan out. quote, parts of the dossier have proved president. it's main assertion that the russian government was working to get mr. trump elected was partly an established fact when i was first laid out by christopher steele in his first memo in june 2016. but that has since been backed up by the united states' own intelligence agencies and robert mueller's investigation. the dossier's talk of russian efforts to cultivate some people in mr. trump's or bit was similarly unknown when first detailed in one of christopher steele's reports but proved accurate, as well. when buzz feed published the steel dossier, there was one russian guy who was mentioned on the final page of the dossier who went beyond just complaining about the document being published or denying that the claims about him in the dossier were true, there was this one guy who is not known in the united states at all but mentioned in the dossier about having big shot role in t

indictment of paul manafort by the top prosecutors in new york. you can't make up how much is happening. 16 new counts right here in this mortgage frauds case. this changes everything. very existence of these charges which is new tonight reduce any motivation for president trump to try to rush to to pardon manafort on the federal crimes if he could sit in a different jail for other crimes that trump cannot pardon. as this show and my colleague rachel maddow a and many legal experts have noted, manafort's team had been using their final filings to pitch a federal pardon. these state charges undercut everything they have been trying to do. if theese charges stick that could be check mate for manafort's strategy and to the extent trump is going along with it which may be why mr. manafort's lawyer who has been so quick to make outlandish and false claims, i want to show you this tonight. he couldn't even muster any response to the largest question haunting trump world right now, how do you counter prosecutor in a jurisdiction you don't control? where your pardons don't apply. >> do you have

, everyone, it's 4:00 in the new york on a blockbuster day of breaking legal news. donald trump's former campaign chairman paul manafort facing 7 1/2 years in prison. a federal judge in d.c. tacking more than three years on his sentence handed down last week in the eastern district of virginia. that judge, amy berman jackson, delivering her rebuke of manafort and his lawyers in ways of repudiations of his lies, his crimes and his excuses. jackson describing manafort's lack of remorse and his breach of cooperation agreement in stark terms, with a summation that defines this moment with legal and political history. telling the court, quote, all of this appeared to reflect his ongoing contempt for and the belief that he has the right to manipulate these proceedings and the court order did not apply to him. all of this was a problem for me, because court is one of those places where facts still matter. and prosecutors in manhattan apparently another place where facts and crimes still matter, effectively pardon-proofing manafort's sentence, moments after judge jackson issues a sentence p the

. >>> good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. day 795 of the trump administration. and there is a legal term for exactly what it is we're witnessing right now. it's a mess. it is tempting to label this coverage of the mueller report, but it's not. we haven't seen the mueller report. so this really is coverage of a letter that bill barr wrote, the four-page letter from the attorney general, describing and interpreting what he read in the mueller report. barr writes, among other things, quote, "the special counsel's investigation did not find that the trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 u.s. presidential campaign." it's important to note that mueller did not draw a conclusion about whether or not the president obstructed justice. barr directly quoted mueller's report that said, "while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." barr went on to say that he and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein concluded, "the ev
